Join Steven Moser for an in-depth discussion in this video Import a static sprite, part of Building a Physics-Based Platformer in GameMaker Studio Using GML.
- [Instructor] Next, let's create a sprite…by importing a single image.…I'll right-click on the Sprites folder.…See Create Sprite…and load sprite.…I'll navigate to the exercise files folder.…Head to resources, assets,…and this time let's create an obstacle.…I'll go into the obstacles folder…and I'll select the wood spikes.…Make sure to check the remove…background button on the right.…That will get rid of any white background…and make sure that it's transparent.…
I'll click open.…And we see our wood spikes loaded in this sprite properties.…I'll call it s_wood_spikes.…Lastly, let's pick an origin point…for the sprite that makes sense.…If I click the center button,…we'll see the crosshairs move to the center of the sprite…but what I want is to be able…to place the spikes on the floor…and have them align properly.…So I really want the y location of the origin…to be right at the bottom of the sprite.…
I can see up at top here…that the width of the sprite is 152 pixels…and the height is 150 pixels.…So if I set the y origin location to 150 pixels,…
